Open House @ Cyberjaya

What a 'Cyberjaya' day! I was in Cyberjaya for this whole day, from 11am until 6pm. Why was I there? That's a good question. I went there for a meeting with my colleague Ezra and after that both of us stayed back to finalize everything. I listened to my MP3 while spending the 3 hours with my laptop to get the news summaries done, that's the way I do my works. 

There was an open house "Hari Riang Raya", with various types of food and beverage such as pizzas, satay, fried noodles, fried rice, ice-kacang, nasi briyani, mee rebus, laksa Johor and many more. 


 All the provided foods were free of charge

 I wanted to try this curry soup noodles but I got pimple on my face, NO CURRY!


 Pizzas


 Colourful Sago Cakes *traffic light*


 Icy Mango 
(Ezra, I told you I was full! Why you kept bringing foods for me? *laughed*

First Day At Work

Not much to say about my first day at work, I would just describe the day with one word: Great. Everything turned out great. My boss is a quite good looking foreigner called Felix, he's is really friendly and amiable. 

When I was reading the slides, my PR Manager suddenly passed me a piece of paper and smile. Oh! I was invited to her humble home for a modest Hari Raya lunch this Saturday. *wow*

Alright, I think I got to go as I'm very tired now.

My application has been approved~

I went for an interview at School of Global Service Management, PKNS this morning. As referred to my previous post, it's a 2-month training for fresh graduates or unemployed. The girl Vivian gave us briefing and interviewed us for about half an hour only.

This training costs about RM10,500 with BTEC level 3 Advanced certificate that recognized in UK and also 300 of universities all around the world but it's fully funded. *sounds good right?* For addition, they will provide us allowances of RM1000 and they will find company for us. We might be entitled to get into big company like Air Asia, Astro, Petronas, Shell, Genting, RHB Bank and 50 more partnership companies.

Another benefit is we can either take the job they offer to us or we find job our own. No contract. No bond. No worries. They have approved my application and what I need to do now is waiting for their call because the starting date of training is still unsure yet.

That's my back up plan. If I could able to find a good job, I might reject the training.

Mr. Good Job, Mrs. Excellent Job, Miss Awesome Job... please come and find me. Haha!

Final Interview Session

I'm so tired! But I'm still blogging at home now *laughed*

I went for the final interview today. It could actually be considered as orientation day which mean the trainer will bring their trainee out for observation and practice. 

I was so surprised when my trainer Vivian told me this: "Eaven, do you know how many candidates came for the interview last Friday which in the same day with you? There were 20 candidates and only 5 were selected to go for the final interview. You are so lucky because you got selected by the manager."

Before going out for observation, Vivian and another trainer who called Calvin brought me to a Chinese restaurant for breakfast. It's so fun to have chatting with them as they are very friendly and outspoken. They asked me some questions and I was able to answer them well which made them feel surprised too. I'm really glad that I got working experiences during my study because I've learned many things.

Calvin got a little bit of shock when I said I come from Chinese primary school as he thought I'm English educated person who know to speak Chinese. When I asked him the reason, he said: "From the way you speak, the way you dress up yourself and everything, you don't look like a typical Chinese." I think it's because of I stay in Subang which is a city place. 

After an hour of walking, we took a rest in a restaurant. Before this, she asked me: "Do you want to have a rest?" I said: "It's okay. I can rest later." She said: "Wow! You are the most aggressive trainee that I've ever seen." Of course I'm happy to hear about that. *wink*

When we get back to the company, it was almost 6.30pm. After the observation session, I was given a test paper which I have to answer all the 8 subjective questions. Vivian viewed my certificate book when I was writing the answer and she kept saying that I'm so intelligent and got the good balance in both of the academic and involvement in activities. Then, Calvin came and sat beside me with a album on his hand. He displayed the pictures and told me how much of fun they had in the company. *sweet*

Finally, I went in to the manager's office for final interview. Oh! The manager laughed and said that I've been praised by Vivian. Thanks for the compliments!

But one thing is I'm still not that believe to the company because when I asked about annual leave/ bonus, they didn't really tell me but kept talking about the salary is mostly based on the performance. In other words, sales. They said got no sales target but I think it's just a excuse for them to recruit more sales people to work for the company. I'm thinking and thinking now... ...
